Trying to use IIS 6 dynamic compression on an application that provides web services to my ASP.Net web site. Setup compression just fine, on the ASP.Net client request set the EnableDecompression="true" so that the client could decompress the content, which works fine. Set the value to "false" so would not use compression while developing so we can debug. The client request still contains the AcceptEncoding: gzip header, so the server still sends it back compressed.

Setup a web reference to a web service, using the proxy class set the EnableDecompression = "false" and do a network trace, see that AcceptEncoding: gzip is included still which tells the server to use compression.

Hi Robert,

This issue has now been fixed. Please also note that as part of the fixed we changed the default value of EnableDecompression to be false by default. We were concerned that having it on by default would break existing customers that had implemented decompression on top of ASP.NET Web Services in v1.1.

Thank you for helping us identify this issue, and please let me know if you have futher questions or concerns.

Hi Robert,

Could you please tell me why you were trying to disable automatic decompression? Was this just for test purposes?

Also, are you migrating a .NET 1.1 application to .NET 2.0? If so, did you implement decompression for your 1.1 application?

We are in the process of trying to get this issue fixed, but we need as much customer data as possible in order to justify making a fix and risk destabilizing the product.

Thank you for your help
